In an effort to counter this, students in asophomore-level “Energy Balances” course are asked to help develop a rubric that will be usedto grade and assess a team project in the course. The mechanism for including student input inrubric development and assessing the ability of the students to use the resulting rubrics for selfevaluation will be discussed.IntroductionThe chemical engineering curriculum at Ohio University requires students to complete open-ended assignments in a team environment at the sophomore, junior, and senior levels.

The number thatqualifies a class as large is not clearly defined, but most believe that a class of more than 100qualifies. The idea that small classes automatically solve communication problems betweenstudents and teachers is false. Most students will agree that a large class with a good teacher iscertainly better than a small class with an ineffective one.Having taught as many as 325 students in

design processAbstract:When teaching an introductory engineering design course, a typical challenge for students lies ingrasping the nature of the design thinking mindset and the often scattered nature of the designprocess. Since design is often taught as a multidisciplinary course (or as a component of one)early in the curriculum, one approach to address this in a discipline-blind manner is to focus onthe design of products familiar to students in their everyday lives. However, a drawback to thisapproach is that it typically can only be used to analyze fully-developed and commerciallysuccessful products, which can obscure the messy details and iterations inherent in the designprocess. It also strongly biases the pool of potential cases toward
